Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/ePub) Dawn's Prelude [Xtian 1870s Alaska Saga w/Romance]

[ATDrake]

Dawn's Prelude by Tracie Peterson is the 1st in her Song of Alaska series of family saga historical literary/women's fiction novels with romantic elements set in Sitka, this installment beginning in 1870s during the pioneer settlement era, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Bethany House imprint.

The customer reviews seem to indicate that these are well-researched historicals with more interpersonal drama than straight romance, though YMMV.

This has previously been offered free way back in 2010 (back when affiliate links were still allowed in the main Deals forum), and repeated a couple of times over the years, IIRC.

Currently free, probably just for one day @ B&N (may also drop in the UK), Amazon UK (slated to drop in the main store after midnight Pacific Time), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians), and Christian Book (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide).

Description
Newly widowed Lydia Sellers discovers that through an unforeseen fluke, she is the sole recipient of her husband's fortune. But instead of granting her security, it only causes strife as her adult stepchildren battle to regain the inheritance for themselves. Lydia, longing to put the memories of her painful marriage behind her, determines to travel to Alaska to join her aunt.

Lydia's arrival in Sitka, however, brings two things she didn't expect. One is the acquaintance of Kjell Bjorklund, the handsome owner of the sawmill. Second is the discovery that she is pregnant with her dead husband's child. What will this mean for her budding relationship with Kjell? And what lengths will her stepchildren go to reclaim their father's fortune? Lydia soon finds her life--and that of her child's--on the line.

A dramatic adventure set in pioneer Alaska, the first book in a new romantic family saga from bestselling author Tracie Peterson
